[Intro] G Cadd9 G Cadd9/G Em D C C C D G Cadd9 Cadd9 D G Cadd9/G [Verse]
G                              Cadd9         G     Cadd9/G
Could not get to sleep, it was on my wedding night

      Em              D                C
I was tangled in the sheets, and I was dreaming of a light

C                D       G                     Cadd9
Pouring from her window, coming up through the floor

Cadd9          D         Cadd9                       D
Lifting up the darkness, crashing through my kitchen door
[Verse]
              G              Cadd9          G     Cadd9/G
Down to that old oak table I went to take a look

       Em                 D              C
And my whole life flashed before me just like a story book

    C               D             G              Cadd9
She used to make me breakfast, or sit around and talk

Cadd9               D       Cadd9               D
Have another cup of coffee, maybe take a little walk
[Chorus]
Em          D       G  Cadd9
Dust down a country road

Cadd9            G                      D
Blowin' in the wind behind an old truck load

Em            D       G   Cadd9
Up before the rooster crowed

Cadd9                             D                   G    Cadd9/G
There's an old dog staring at the dust down a country road
[Verse]
G                             Cadd9                G     Cadd9/G
And that truck is going somewhere, I just can't be sure

         Em              D         C
And tomorrow's just the day after all that's gone before

    C                 D         G                   Cadd9
I always thought of leaving, I never could stay too long

        Cadd9             D           Cadd9                D
Now her memory's catching up, and our sweet dreams are all gone
[Chorus]
Em          D       G  Cadd9
Dust down a country road

Cadd9            G                      D
Blowin' in the wind behind an old truck load

Em            D       G   Cadd9
Up before the rooster crowed

Cadd9                             D                   G    Cadd9/G
There's an old dog staring at the dust down a country road
[Verse]
G                     Cadd9          G     Cadd9/G
If I had a bullet I'd put it in this gun

        Em                 D                C
And I'd catch that old dog napping, and I'd shoot him before he runs

          C                  D             G              Cadd9
Cause he ain't much good for nothin' 'cept staring at the dust

       Cadd9            D          Cadd9          D
Lord I wonder what he's looking at sneaking up on us
[Chorus]
Em          D       G  Cadd9
Dust down a country road

Cadd9             G                     D
Blowin' in the wind behind an old truck load

Em            D       G   Cadd9
Up before the rooster crowed

Cadd9                             D                   G    Cadd9/G
There's an old dog staring at the dust down a country road
